Chikkasiddavvanahalli (Savita Group)0.75MW Wind project wind project was set up in Karnataka, India It was in fact brought online in 2002 and is owned by Savita Group.

It is near Chitradurga.

See below for data.

Wind farms, as a general rule need wind speeds of 4.5 metres per second or more.

The best location for something such as Chikkasiddavvanahalli (Savita Group)0.75MW Wind project would be a steady supply of non-turbulent wind. An important factor of turbine siting is moreover admission to local demand or transmission capaChitradurga.

Collection of site-specific data for wind speed and direction would have been important to determining site potential in order to finance the project. Local winds are frequently watched for a year or more, and detailed wind maps constructed before wind generators are installed.

The wind blows swifter at greater altitudes because of the reduced effect of drag. The increase in velocity with altitude is most dramatic at the surface and is impacted by landscape, surface roughness, and upwind obstructions such as trees or buildings. Velocity boosts with altitude and it is more pronounced near land and is changed by topography, surface and obstructions.

Normally, the growth of wind speeds with increasing height follows a wind profile power law, which anticipates that wind speed rises proportionately to the seventh root of altitude. Increasing the height of a turbine, then, enhances the predicted wind speeds by 10%, and the estimated power by 34%.

In general, a range of 7D (7 × Rotor Diameter of the Wind Turbine) is about between each turbine in a fully developed wind farm. However this may not be the case in hilly areas.

At a substation, that medium-voltage electric energy is increased in voltage using a transformer for connection to the high voltage transmission system. Development of a land-based wind farm requires setting up the collector system and substation, and perhaps roads to each turbine site.
